I have one of these which I fitted but it runs off the main battery. I only run it with the engine turning. At the time it was about the best I could find that gave out a bit of heat.

I've seen those and wondered if they're actually any good with heat :scratching_chin
as you say only when the engine running!) cos they do a 600W one too! (50Amp?!!) Trouble is Gooders if you fit a leisure battery just for the purpose you'll have to charge it some how, pretty quickly with that sort of draw and that then might mean the cost of an intelligent split charge system as well won't it? (Good tho they are!)

Agree mate, same motor as you, the heater is great, have to switch it off after a while, gets too warm. Just needs setting up right.

It does help, but I wouldn't rely on just the ceramic heater. My 110 has a large area to heat up an the 200TDI's are known to be a cool running engine.
I have changed three thermostats including a 88 degree one, three senders, removed the Viscos fan and fitted a Kenlowe electric one. Rad muff.Flushed out the system, flushed out the heater matrix. Mine takes about 20 minutes before the engine warms up so this ceramic heater does help. Don't bother with these lower watt ones, they would be useless. These are a bit on the expensive side, but where I live it can get down to -18C.
